Father’s day

This was possibly the hardest and worst Father’s day yet. He gets the BBQ I get a gift certificate. He gets the kids, I get a card.

I literally moved back to this God forsaken village again to be within walking distance and I never see my kids anymore than I did living 20 miles away.

I’ve been on a downward spiral for weeks and this just took the bottom of it all out.

I thought about you today…I knew it would be a very hard day for you.  Did you ask the boys to be with you today?  Did they not want to?  For whatever reason I’m sorry it was such a bad day.

Sounds horrible but today (Father’s day) shouldn’t be a day I have to ask them. I saw them a total of 3 minutes because they wanted to give me a card. I guess that’s better than nothing. Maybe I am trying to live a dead dream too much. I just see the neighbors kids coming over and there’s a party and the other neighbors having a BBQ and it’s just one more reminder that my “family ” dream is long gone.

@newt316 I agree, you shouldn’t have to ask…it should be a given on Father’s Day.  I know you would rather have time with them than a card.  But, if you are like me you probably don’t want them visiting if they don’t really want to be there…that’s how I would probably feel.  I never want anyone to visit me out of obligation.

I’m sorry, I’m sure it was a hard day.  I hope things turn and look up soon.
